Question about guardianship
Laureen
Heya
I'm not entirely sure if this is the right/best place to ask this; if not,
or if you know of someone who might have an answer, please feel free to
forward along...
I know some of you have nontraditional guardianship arrangements with other
unschooling families, should something happen to you and your children need
to be cared for. I'm in the process of arranging my advance directives, etc,
and guardianship for my kids. The thing I'm wondering about is, the person
we've agreed would be the best person to hold guardianship of our children
should something happen to us, is in another country.
Has anyone done anything like this? What kinds of legal requirements were
there?

My sister is in another country and she will have guardianship of the
children should anything happen to us. We had a lawyer helping us set up our
will/estate plan. It was pretty straight forward, just naming her and the
address. The children have double nationality, and they speak the language.
The only issue with our plan is that she's not homeschooling or unschooling,
and they would have to go to school with their cousins. I still think she's
the best option because she's the only family we have, we have a very close
relationship and we are very good friends.

For Americans, what would happen with social security checks? (I
don't know what the equivalent might be in other countries, but can
they go across borders?)

Social Security checks do not depend on residence. Many seniors these days
are moving abroad where their checks go further. I know you were referring
to the minor survivor checks but it is "all" "social security".
You are old enough to remember Jim Jones and Jonestown. Part of the outrage
about it was that not only were social security checks being sent but also
state funds for foster children.
